Dedicated to the producers, composers, performers, arrangers, conductors, session musicians, engineers and technicians who created some of popular music's finest and most cherished recordings. Although many of these artists are no longer with us, their talents and labours will long be remembered and re-played for new generations to enjoy.

About The Program

Elevator Club made its debut on April 2, 2000 with host Gord Bibby on CHLY, Radio Malaspina, Nanaimo, BC and has also been carried over the years on CIVL radio, Abbotsford, BC and CFSI radio, Salt Spring Island, BC. It is now available on CJNU 93.7 FM (Nostalgia Unlimited) in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The program is a unique blend of old and new easy listening music featuring lush instrumentals, soothing vocals with a sprinkling of soft jazz. Some programs are themed (movie music, Grammy award winners of the past, etc.), reflecting songs of a season or highlighting a specific artist, orchestra or composer.

About The Background Picture

Nanaimo's Diana Krall composed a song about this iconic city destination likely inspired by an evening such as this. Click on the link below to hear Diana sing "Departure Bay":

Lost CIVL Archived Podcasts

Back in 2008 & 2009, the last two hours of Elevator Club were programmed for broadcast over radio station CIVL in Abbotsford, British Columbia as part of their Sunday afternoon schedule on a delayed simulcast basis. These programs were some of my favourites and I`m happy to offer them as per the links below.
